Shelter Quest Hike

This photo was taken in July 2010 during an event called Shelter Quest. My organization hiked through the mountains of Ukraine with a large group of about 25 teens and young adults. During this week we went on various hikes, played games, told jokes, had deep conversations about life around the campfires, all while experiencing mountaintop views of Crimea. The event's main goals are to teach youth to overcome their fears and confidently face life's difficulties.
